Mega charizard y actually has the better defensive typing since you are immune to ground. Arguably the most common offensive type in the game. Yes you have a quad rock weakness but it’s better to have less weaknesses and a single quad weakness than more weakness but no quad weakness.

It has good special defence and meh defences.

Roost sets do exist on mega zard y and they aren’t that bad. It not your usual set but it exist and it’s still pretty good. Remember, Pokémon can have multiple ways to be played. Yes some are better than others but don’t regard all sets other than the best as entirely useless.

Say ash greninja. Really good but not as good as protean. Still a very strong Pokémon. Or poison heal breloom. Technician is the more common and stronger version but poison heal Note that Mega Charizard X loses its weakness to water, electric and takes less damage from stealth rock (if it mega evolves b4 stealth rocks arrives. This is due to its Dragon typing which negated these weaknesses with an additional 0.25x damage from Fire and Grass. Of course, it gains a weakness to Ground which is a tad disadvantage since everyone literally use E-quake.
